I have only begun really looking at this since my server host may allow SSH to get it working. I'm at work so I can't verify this question so I thought I would ask..
Can you set a message to run at a specific time?
Reason: Our server updates stats twice a day 3pm and 3am when it does it, it shoots CPU usage to90% and lags the server for approx 30 seconds.. doesnt sound long until your going through it, then everyone is complaining. Our server is busy most of the time so no time is really good to update, except possilby 2-4 am. That is a possible solution but I thought if we could broadcast a message several times just prior to 3pm, it would let them know the lag. I would prefer they be updated twice a day if possible.
Timed messages could also come in handy for other things.. so I thought I would ask.
